Toronto geomancer Paul Ng shares his predictions as the Lunar New Year ushers in the Year of the Ox. thestar.com/life/advice/20…
The Tiger will become very spiritual this year. You want to learn and your mind is sharp. Your money is stable, but you might feel lonely at times. thestar.com/life/advice/20…
The Rabbit will have a lot of lucky signs. You will be good with relationships and you work well with people. Businesses to do with sales, marketing, entertainment and consulting are good for you, or even the funeral home or cemetery industry. thestar.com/life/advice/20…
The Dragon has some conflicts with the Ox. You might tend to argue with people. However, you have a lucky sign that can help you out of trouble. Your intuition is also strong. thestar.com/life/advice/20…
The Snake and the Ox form a golden collection, only in the presence of a Rooster. Hence, there will be both hidden enemies and friends. You will do better in outdoor work rather than office work or working from home. thestar.com/life/advice/20…
